SMARTCRUTCHErgonomic Custom Forearm Crutches for Adults, Multiple Colors, Adjustable Forearm Rotates 15-90 Degrees - Heights 4'4" to 6'4" - 250 lbs

I have a hypermobility disorder, and these have been amazing. My arm joints usually get punished when I use crutches, but these have significantly increased how long I can use crutches before my arms begin to have pain/discomfort. - They also came with foam padding for the arm cuff wings you can choose to add or not. They're definitely the most comfortable crutches I've ever used by a long shot. It's very easy to adjust the angle of the forearm area.My size specs: 5'7", narrow (9") arm cuff, 7.5' - 9" forearm lengthI got a box that says "medium" on itMy height is right between pins. one pin up is a little too short and one pin down is a hair too tall (but that's very nitpicky)Even adding the foam padded wings, the arm cuffs are so big my arm slides right through the top (I like to be able to let my crutch dangle from my arm if I'm using a hand, so if you have thin arms and like to do this too, you may have this issue)Perhaps I didn't get the right sized arm cuff?aesthetically very nice, the metal is all black coated and the sticker on the arm area is very nice quality. "Sleek" looking. The one part I *really* dislike is the advertising text on the arm area.... it ruins the pretty design.The spring tips are great for a more fluid motion, they are a little less stable in comparison to the standard tip (which still has great flex to it)

Like many others here I have EDS, with its associated ligament laxity and frequent injuries. I recently injured my foot and was prescribed regular crutches, but they were hard to use due to arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ligament laxity in my hands. I ordered my smartCRUTCHes and they were delivered quickly, and I was able to use them to get around until I got my foot stabilized again. They are much easier to use than my regular underarm crutches, they are very sturdy and I feel secure when I use them.At one of my medical appointments, the technician I was working with commented on how nice the crutches were - he has worked in vocational rehab and was very impressed. I haven't had them very long but I am very happy to have them in my arsenal of tools that I need to manage my EDS.I also had a nice email exchange with the president of US distribution when I found out they are located very close to me, she was very friendly, and they got my crutches shipped out right away! I recommend them for anyone who has issues using traditional crutches due to hand or shoulder instability.

I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I have seen some of the reviews on here saying they're not worth it. Unfortunately with EDS, we're all different and things are going to have to take trial and error to see if it works for our situation.As for me, before these crutches, I lost so much mobility. I couldn't really walk anymore, I couldn't have a physical job, and I became more cut off from society than I wished for. Just walking 15 minutes would set me for a couple of days of searing knee and ankle pain, with so much hyperextension. NOW, I can walk, I hiked for 2 hours and could have kept going, I have a physical job that requires a lot of standing and walking (working with children), and I'm able to go shopping, outings, museums, etc. It has literally given my life back.For reference, I am 5'3'' and 275 lbs. I have the widest forearm width you can go. It is a little tight on my arms, but when you get your crutches they do give you an option to send them back and get them adjusted. I never did that because it's never really caused me a problem.It takes time to figure out what height is best for you, what forearm angle, and how to walk with these. I've had these for over 2 years, and walking with them is second nature now. They feel like an extension of me, and I forget that I'm even using them. After 2 years, they are still in incredibly good shape and I definitely think they will last a long time.So, I think if you have EDS or any other knee or leg pain, just try these out. They may or may not work for you, but give it a good go. It may change you're life like me.

Great crutches. The optimal brand for my multiple disabilities. The second set I purchased after three years. The first pair did not have any issues, and I must have these to walk. So I’m a heavy user.Within four weeks the rubber grip on the right handle started to slip off every time I used them. Within 10 steps it would begin to slip off and became a distraction. I have to stop and push the grip back into place. If I’d don’t it will slip further and becomes dangerous. The crutch’s designate right and left which is a great feature because each stick is tailored to each side of my body. This happens to the right stick and just a little on the left.So I contact Amazon and the seller 4 times and explained these are now dangerous for me to use. Although Amazon has their A-Z guarantee it was a joke and useless. Although the site said that I have until 01/25/2025 to return the items it was a lie. When I tried to do a return after the 1st of 4 unsatisfactory customer service interactions the click through said I couldn’t return them and had to contact the seller. After I contacted the seller 2 times I was told that “sometimes this happens for many different reasons so go to the hardware store and buy some epoxy and that may solve the problem.So they blamed me for the product malfunction and put it on me to fix what they admitted was as a common defect in a critical healthcare product that puts people at risk of falls and injuries when they use it. Would not stand behind product or warranty. Both the provider and Amazon. Oh and be careful because if you use epoxy you’ve effectively invalidated the warranty and now they have another reason to do nothing.This product can be a health hazard and the company will not resolve problems. Now it has become dangerous.
